brook that Browser's sagacity had dis
covered, and, Standish not excepted,
ate as sweet meal as he had ever en-
joyed. Then, regardless OF all pre-
cautions, each wrapped himself in his
blanket and was soon fast asleep. We
worked on for three days. much of the
time over country which would have
been hard enough had it been cleared
of undergrowth; but, thanks to Brow
ser, we seldom suffered from thirst.
We all learned to understand his mute

We were all, at last, reduced to join

abundant heritage.
Early on the fourth morning we
caught the sound of waves breaking on
the coast. In another hour we came
out on the sandy beach. Our boots
and clothing were torn, our faces and
hands scratched and bleeding, and
every muscle quivered with fatigue
and hunger. Which way should we
turn to find the ranch, the food we SO
sorely neededp Standish looked at his
compass; but in the struggle through
the jungle and in going for water we
had veered from our course. Man,
superior, reasoning man, was at loss
not so the unreasoning brute. Brow
ser lifted his nose, snuffed the air and
deliberately, steadily walked of, in
what the compass showed to be the
southerly direction.
Foot sore, we slowly limped aftel

almost ready to throw down our light

a dense tangle of vegetation. Once in

OF the six men who went In the
boat, he was the only one saved. and
he had been drawn out of the surf,
when he was past helping himself, by
the friendly Indian.
Taking the Indian on board and his
canoe in tow, we sailed for Trinidad.
In the morning, Standish and !, with
the Indian, started for the gold beach,
carrying tools for gathering and bags
for holding the gold. We reached the
beach. 1t was the place we had seen
few days before glittering with the
precious metal. We could not be mis-
taken; exhausted as we were, we had
carefully taken our bearings. But
there was nothing there but sand!
Black sand!
"What fools we have been," said
Standish. 1.-The very same force that
brought the gold In has carried it out
again, and left only the sand. such as
we might walk on for miles"
Our feet made heavy by disappoint-
ment, we dragged ourselves back to the
cutter. Standish gave the word. and
we were soon headed for San Fran
cisco.
l shall never forget the evening when
Standish, Harry and l sat on deck in
the stern of the cutter, and talked over
our adventures since we started on the
gold hunt.
Rob" said Harry, at last, I'm of
for home! You will do as you please,
of course, but l tell you, when fellow
has looked death in the face, life is a
new thing for him. 1t seems as if my
life had been taken from me and given
back. It's a mean use to make of life
to spend it getting money for moneys
sake only!"
"I'm not going to give up so," said
Standisb. "There's gold in these sands,
that's plain enough. There must be
some way to get some of it, and who
knows but l may be lucky enough tc
see it washed up againp"
As Harry and were determined to
take the next steamer for the isthmus,
we turned over our interest in the
company to Standish. The beaches
have since been worked with fair sue
cess But l believe no such sight has
ever again appeared to any party Of
miners as that glittering beach whose
golden sands our restitution forbade
out gathering; those treasures" MOI
even hidden in the sands" but which
our wants compelled us to leave to be
borne out into the ocean waste.

WHY SHE REFUSED.

He met her at the party gay
A neighbor gave across the way,
And deemed her such a charming elf
he loved her better than himself.
So, like brave young cavilier,
He thought all obstacles to clear.
He spent his cash for livery team,
For candy, nuts and dear ice-cream;
When cash is scarce no runs up bills
For whatsoe'r the dear one wills. :
There's nothing like to loves young dream,
The present does so pleasant seem,
Through all the world 1t is the same;
And SO, one night, the question came:
!" Say, darling, will you be my wifei
I'll guard you from the storms Of life;
Pray, answer me, 1 do entreatl
See, dear, I'm kneeling at your feet"
" oh, please get up" at last she said.
:" Indeed, ne'er intend to wed.
Inever thought. that you meant all
You said when oft you came TO call;
hope you may be happy yet;
So, pray forget we ever metz
First, give reason then" he said,
" Why you have vowed TO never we'd"
P" All, would you know and be- my friend.

had sister without foes;
Her pockets were with candy filed;
She ice-cream had when e'er she willed-
With sleigh, and car, and buggy rides,
To sandwich in between, besides;
Until, one fatal day. for life
She pledged to be petted wife.
Then came the talked-of joys Of home;
He said, he cared no more to roam.
No ice-cream since then has she tasted;
And, as for her, the snow was wasted;
She ne'er single sleigh-ride GOT

Although she says her husbands kind,
He falls below my standard, mind
And so, to me, it best doth seem,
To single stay. and eat ice-cream."
And then, SO dreamily she smiled,
AS II by happy thoughts beguiled,
While as behind him closed the door,
He vowed to ne'er trust woman more.

OF Easton, Nd, was consecrated Mission
airy Bishop of Now Mexico and Arizona in
1875. On his way to his diocese he stopped
at Shreveport, La, and devoted himself
to caring for yellow fever patients. After
time he was himself stricken with the
fever, and this so weakened his general
health that he found himself unable to
perform the duties of his immense do
